GreatAuPair increases mutual understanding among people of all nations through intercultural living, education, work and travel experiences.

What we do

GreatAuPair offers programs to exchange visitors and US host families that encourage a broader perspective and better understanding of new cultures, people and what's important to them. Unique within the industry is GreatAuPair's comprehensive FastMatch™ system that helps families and caregivers find the best possible two-way match through proprietary matching algorithms, personalized searches and detailed profiles including background checks, online interviews, references, reviews, photos and videos.

Why we care

Day in and day out, you work hard. We understand. We're working parents too. We realized that it's no fun for anyone when parents are running ragged. But kids are still kids, and they need lots of love, attention and many hands to help. So in 2001, we created GreatAuPair to be the parents' choice for affordable, no-fuss childcare with a cultural flair.

How it works

It's all pretty simple. We give you a large selection of trained and dependable au pairs at an affordable price. Then with our FastMatch™ system, we help you narrow down the candidates to those that best match your family so you not only get the right care for your family, but you also get it in record time.

Dedicated to you

We're dedicated to providing you the absolute best service, selection, and support. In fact, GreatAuPair is one of a select few au pair agencies to be approved as a designated sponsor by the US Department of State. We're held to the highest possible standards, and we wouldn't have it any other way.
